And even if it was a clear fact that the majority of those billion adherents acted on that teaching by engaging in pedophillia you'd further defend the teaching because the highly likely influence of the teaching on the behaviour doesn't necessarily produce that behaviour in every adhenret?
If you think that I just think we have radically different moral compasses. And I will just do what I can to defeat your repugnant viewpoint in the real world. As far as this discussion goes I'm happy to accept the impasse of us having very different ethical preferences. I prefer a world without religions influencing people to be pedophiles or kill gay people. Your mileage may vary. I make no claim to anything more than my personal prefernece for such a world.
I would call that teaching bad if I could demonstrate it, or get some kind of general consensus in society that it is bad. Otherwise my opinion isn't justified.
Likewise, I would call it good if the reverse were true.
Now, back to the question, and the burden of proof which you are so unhappy about.
